history
Project history and usage
`leetgo` is a Go-based LeetCode CLI that generates problem descriptions, skeleton code, test harnesses, contest files, and local test workflows for people who want to solve LeetCode problems from a terminal and editor.
Project history
The project README describes `leetgo` as a terminal companion for LeetCode with code generation, local testing, contest support, automatic browser-cookie reading, and optional OpenAI-assisted fix support. It supports both leetcode.com and leetcode.cn.
The v1.4 configuration change is a useful marker in the project's evolution: the README states that since v1.4, `leetgo` stopped reading the global `~/.config/leetgo/config.yaml` file and moved configuration into a project-local `leetgo.yaml` discovered by walking upward from the working directory.
Adoption history
The repository shows hundreds of stars, dozens of forks, and many tagged releases. The README documents Homebrew, Scoop, Arch, installer-script, and `go install` installation paths, which is a broader packaging surface than many LeetCode helper CLIs.
How it is used
A typical workflow is `leetgo init`, edit `leetgo.yaml`, `leetgo pick`, `leetgo test`, and `leetgo submit`. The tool can generate complete runnable programs for several languages and uses browser cookies, explicit cookies, or environment variables for LeetCode authentication.
Why package nerds care
`leetgo` is a good package-nerd example of a language-specific productivity CLI that still needs cross-platform release automation, shell installation paths, browser-cookie integration, per-project config discovery, and generated source layouts for many programming languages.
